“Around 5.45 am, the captain announced that the plane would be landing in 20 minutes, and he advised passengers to put on their seatbelts.
The plane landed at high speed. It jerked severely several times and nearly touched the ground at that speed. But it seemed the pilot couldn't control the plane and it overshot the runway.
I don't know the technical jargon –– but he (the pilot) tried to apply the brake hard but failed, and it (the plane) cruised ahead at high speed.
At this point it seems the pilot tried to take off again. By that time, it hit a boundary wall and a tree, and caught fire.
In a few seconds, the plane broke into three pieces and fire engulfed the entire area. My seat was number 23 and I was in the middle of the aircraft.
I could hear wails and shrieks. Though my head was hit hard, I managed to unlock my belt.
When I saw a small opening (in the broken plane) I dived through it. I wanted to save the person sitting next to me, but I couldn't. Fire engulfed him while he was untying his belt.
I don't know how many of us have survived”
This is the true story narrated by a passenger of a crash who survived because he could open his seat belt. On every flight to tighten your seat belt . Its time to review the procedure and in incidents like this seat belt becomes a sure death bealt while jumping outside was a better option at least for this man and some other men who survived the crash on this flight . Readers advice is sought .
